> [@blondebear](#): > > _Silly Love Songs_ is one of my all-time favorite McCartney tunes. “Wonderful Christmas Time” is one of mine, and one of my favorite Christmas songs too. As for R.E.M., “Losing My Religion” is an OK song but I have never liked the video, let alone figured out what’s so great about it. I know it has great lighting, etc.; I just don’t get the “instant classic” thing. ---

I can’t get into _Young Frankenstein_; I’ve tried to watch it many times and never laughed at any part. ---

> [@ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness](#): > > I’m even worse… I’ve never cared much for _Murmur_. To me, it’s “Radio Free Europe”, the weird one about climbing the stairs, and 10 interchangeable janglepop songs that all sound the same. > And… I like _Monster_ “Murmur” is my favorite R.E.M. album, and has been since I first heard it a couple weeks after its 1983 release. The least popular R.E.M. song, per the band’s aficionados, is probably “Airportman”. I love that song, and always have.

> [@Shagnasty](#): > > The only movie I have seen in the theater is the last three years is Finding Dory and I love watching Spongebob Squarepants reruns. I have kids but those are my picks, not theirs. I also think Titanic is the best movie ever made and I never get tired of it. I was over thirty when I watched my first Spongebob Squarepants episode, and I still think that the show was a work of genius. Squidward is the best and funniest fictional misanthropic character I’ve ever encountered. OTOH, better don’t ask me about Titanic… ---

I don’t understand all the hate for Nickelback. I’m not saying they’re in the same league as the Beatles but they seem like a decent rock band that’s put out some good songs. ---
